Whois & Analysis for e-file.com

E-file is a system for submitting tax documents to the US Internal Revenue Service through the Internet or direct connection, usually without the need to submit any paper documents.

Tax preparation software with e-filing capabilities includes stand-alone programs or websites.

Tax professionals use tax preparation software from major software vendors for commercial use.

Tax returns in the United States are reports filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or with the state or local tax collection agency (California Franchise Tax Board, for example) containing information used to calculate income tax or other taxes.

Online help is topic-oriented, procedural or reference information delivered through computer software.

It is a form of user assistance.

Most online help is designed to give assistance in the use of a software application or operating system, but can also be used to present information on a broad range of subjects.

When online help is linked to the state of the application (what the user is doing), it is called Context-sensitive help.

Component Object Model (COM) is a binary-interface standard for software components introduced by Microsoft in 1993.

It is used to enable inter-process communication and dynamic object creation in a large range of programming languages.

COM is the basis for several other Microsoft technologies and frameworks, including OLE, OLE Automation, Browser Helper Object, ActiveX, COM+, DCOM, the Windows shell, DirectX, UMDF and Windows Runtime.

The essence of COM is a language-neutral way of implementing objects that can be used in environments different from the one in which they were created, even across machine boundaries.

For well-authored components, COM allows reuse of objects with no knowledge of their internal implementation, as it forces component implementers to provide well-defined interfaces that are separated from the implementation.

The different allocation semantics of languages are accommodated by making objects responsible for their own creation and destruction through reference-counting.

Type conversion casting between different interfaces of an object is achieved through the method.

The preferred method of "inheritance" within COM is the creation of sub-objects to which method "calls" are delegated.

A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.

Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made in either a program's source code or its design, or in components and operating systems used by such programs.

A few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.

A program that contains a large number of bugs, and/or bugs that seriously interfere with its functionality, is said to be buggy (defective).
